THE PENITENTIARY RING


We have often been eensured by
our friends for what they are pleas
ed to call "wringing the changes"
on charges Of neglect, incompe-
tency, or corruption, which we
deemed It our duty to make against
public servants, in the past. They
say, "why not state the facts and
let the matter resti" We answer
that it is necessary TO repeat and
relterate the proof Of wrong-doing
in order to induce the people to in
vestigate, for they are 10th to be-
lieve that a man they intrust with
high official position will prove
recreant to public duty.
This is Illustrated in the history
OF the infamous "Penitentiary
ring" of this State which is now
about to be over taken by just
rstribution for numerous crimes.
For years, the MESSENGER has been
calling attention to the iniquity OF
this ring, and many have been the
criticism offered because Of our
persistence, but at last the public
mind is alive to the situation and
numerous journals inside and out
side the State are calling attention
to facts pointed out by US long
since, as if they had just developed
themselves. The story Of the in
debtednsss Of the ring to the State
and its efforts to defraud the pso.
pie was told bY the MEssENaEH
July 10th, 1885, in the following
language:
1--WE are informed that the les
sees OF the State Penitentlary have
not paid into the Treasury the
amount agreed upon by the terms
Of the lease. Will Gov. Lowry, OF
auy his friends tell us, whether OF
not il is true, that the s33, ,944.3s
paid in 1883 is All that has beer
paid on account of the lease begin
ming in 1882 Will not somebody
tell MS if there is not now nearly
/ $4,000 due the State from the
4 penitsntiary ring, and will His Ex
oellency rise and explain why it is
be has not complied with the re
quirements Of Sec. chapter Xxx o

required the Governor to notify
the Attorney Generslto bring suit
if the lease money was paid an

laugh at the court. Many a poor fellow
is lying in Newgate at this moment, and
will be hanged by the neck, for no worse

They stole, being common rcgues. You

he did.

They may have contained butter. We

rosy life many would suppose.
They sleep on the hardest of little beds,
just like the royal princes and princesses,
to make their backs straight, and some are
not even granted a pillow.
They must take a cold bath each morn
ing for their complexion and must begin to
learn French and German in infancy, so as
to acquire a proper accent.
Then they are very plainly dressed.
Frills and furbelows are plebeian, and sc
only hens and folds are allowed.

As a class they are handsome, hardy and
